The weather looked calm as I opened my tent in the morning so I decided to go hiking. Over dinner yesterday other travelers suggested Lagunas de los Tres as a nice one day hike. I was hitting the trail early looking forward to some other form of exercise than fighting the head wind.
The trail climbed through a forest and soon I was enjoying beautiful views of Mount Fitz Roy. In New Zealand a year ago I did a similar hike and almost couldn’t walk or cycle for 3 days. This time I decided to take it easier, keeping a very slow pace up the steps.
A crazy rock climber from South Africa I had talked to last night was planning to climb Mount Fitz Roy. As I looked up the peak I couldn’t imagine people actually climbing it. I was happy enough to hike to the lakes enjoying the views on the way.
Back in town I decided to try one of the famous Tenedor Libre or All You Can Eat buffet. I was eating until my stomach was hurting, loading up on calories for the next leg of the journey: Crossing into Chile on what I was thinking could be quite the adventure!
Beautiful places.
The Fitz Roy is not for newcomers so the guy from ZS must be a really experienced climber.
Enjoy CE!
